The Yorktown Historical Society presents at their annual meeting, Lincoln's Secret Visit To West Point.  

The presentation will be given by Anthony Czarnecki, Trustee of Westchester Society and former president of Peekskill’s Lincoln Society. A Clandestine Trip to the US Military Academy in the Middle of the Civil War (June 1862).  

Lincoln was inaugurated in 1861. It has now been 150 years since Lincoln's visit to West Point.  

An article on this subject will be published in Spring 2012 issue of the New York History Journal. Also a new Lincoln Museum is opening up soon in the old Railroad Station in Peekskill. Join us for this historical presentation.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
